The arrogance is overwhelming...

...what happened to act like you've been there before?
I know many UT, LSU, and of course Gator fans. I have never seen arrogance to match that of the Bammers from any of these three fanbases when in the national title game or the BCSNCG. Now this is not to say that all Bammers are exhibiting such behavior, even on this board. I am wondering if it is just the "newer"/younger Bammers who have only heard/read about Bama's success without actually experiencing it themselves. Where are all those classy Bama fans we are always hearing about? Some of you are making it VERY difficult to pull for you in the BCSNCG.

My thoughts exactly, that was my reasoning in taking a bunch of shots at 'Bama in all their threads and begged them to at least keep all the self-dick sucking in 1 or 2 therads. Now they've got a great team and have accomplished plenty but I remember sayin in 1 thread that UF fans had 2 national titles in both basketball and football and they didn't talk nearly as much crap.

They're in nursing homes and not on a message board

I think one difference is that you other fanbases anticipate and look for our arrogance, eager to point it out whenever it is displayed. It is like any pre-existing stereotype, extremely apparent. But not much different than the rest of you. Besides, some of it is all in good fun, it's been a long time coming.

There are close to 200 Bama fans on this board, and like 7 Gator fans. So there is a much higher odds of finding dickheads in the larger sampling. Throw in that people will generally overlook or justify the dickheads in their own fanbase, or the ones they at least temporarily identify with...PLUS success in another fan base rubs others the wrong way anyway, and you have a good head start to threads like this one.
As a Bama fan who has been here since 2007, I've seen PLENTY of arrogance and had lots of shite slung my way by all of the fanbases you've said aren't arrogant. LSU fans here have PLENTY of arrogant assholes in their ranks, but I've never let that deter me from pulling for them HARD in the BCSNCG...and just as hard for the Gators in theirs.

I am pulling for Texas, who I thought was the most arrogant fanbase in the world. Bammers act like its the first time, its pathetic.
Their fans are basically causing fellow SEC team fans to pull for Tejas. You would think with the 6 dozen national championships (including recruiting, spring game attendance, arrests) that this group would be familiar with the surroundings. Apparently not.

The best and only way to shut Bammers up is to beat them. Florida will probably have 2 chances (1 time in the SEC Champ game) at this next year. Bammers are gonna have a lot more to hold over LSU fans than any other team because we probably lose to them again next year. I think Florida will split with Bama next year at 1-1. I really would not feel bad if I was a Florida fan. You guys are going to be fine. Meyer can still coach and can recruit a loaded state of Florida. Florida will get many chances over the next few years to beat Bama in my opionion. I think Bama and Florida are going to dominate the league for a while as far as overall consistency. Florida is in good shape. I think you guys beat us/LSU again next year and win the East even in a rebuilding year.

Two things. The answer to your first part is simple. They haven't. Secondly anyone crowing about beating Texas should remember the last bowl game we were favored in. Texas is good and very capable of beating our arse. Hopefully the players aren't listening to them.

I'm not one of the arrogant ones, but you obviously didn't pay much attention to florida fans before the SECCG this year or before the BCSCG last year.

You might as well have only included the parts in bold seeing that Bama fans either couldn't comprehend or chose to ignore the rest.

I think you need to be more specific in describing "Arrogance". Exactly what bothers you about us then we can discuss it.

Did you expect anything else?

It's a myth that there is a classy Alabama fan base. They are rednecks beyond belief and not the genteel southerners that exist in many southern states but the "Deliverance" kind that I see continually every time I have to go to that awful state for business.

I do not have the time to read all the responses, so I will just say this is what Aubies have dealt with for decades. It is why Aubies cannot stand the bammer fan base when it comes to all things football. Just think how bad the gumps were in the 60's and 70's and what Aubies had to put up with right in our face.
Bottom line is with message boards now, the rest of the SEC gets to see what bammers are like regularly and it is no wonder they are the most hated fanbase.

Didn't you know that the "A" in their logo stands for arrogance. And believe me that is not confined to their younger fans. That has been the gripe of most SEC fans for many years; they think they are the SEC and tend to look down their noses at the rest of the teams in this great conference. It will be very difficult to pull for those arrogant asswholes in the NCG

I dunno about that. Any of us—ANY of us—who'd watched our team complete two undefeated regular seasons, win an SEC championship and prepare to play for a national championship—might be just as insufferable as anyone from Alabama. Just depends on what kind of person you are. Me personally, I've always adhered to the rule of being gracious in victory and humble in defeat. But that's just because I'm a super swell guy.
Or not. Anyway, life is just easier when you don't take this shite too seriously.
